USTFCCCA
Men's All-Academic Release
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Three members of the Harvard
cross country team have attained USTFCCCA All-Academic status, the
organization announced Monday. Sophomore Kailyn Kuzmuk and junior
Claire Richardson of the women’s team and junior Dan
Chenoweth of the men’s team earned the award for their
efforts during the 2009 cross country season.

The award marks the third time that Richardson and Chenoweth have
been recognized by the organization. Richardson, a neurobiology
concentrator, had a stellar cross country season, taking the title
at the HYP meet and qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
Chenoweth, a sociology concentrator, also took the title at the HYP
meet and posted his second consecutive top-45 finish at the NCAA
Championships. Chenoweth was one of 58 Division I male athletes
given All-Academic status in 2009-10. Kuzmuk earned her first
All-Academic accolade after a solid sophomore campaign where she
turned in Harvard’s top performance at the NCAA
Championships. Kuzmuk and Richardson joined 102 other female
athletes as All-Academic honorees.

The award honors those student-athletes who have succeeded both
academically and athletically. To be eligible for the award a
student-athlete must carry a minimum 3.25 cumulative grade point
average and must finish among the top 15 finishers (or top 10
percent) of the field at their respective NCAA regional meet.
